‘It was nothing if not spectacular - and
just what we have come to expect... He rose on a podium to a
new high and that looks like that’s just where he is
going to stay - at the top.’ – Liverpool
Echo

Bieber is an artist that needs no introduction
with two Artist Of The Year American Music Awards, two
Grammy nominations, more than 40 million Twitter followers
and 15 million albums sold worldwide to his name.

The
Canadian superstar has come a long way from the teenage
sensation who racked up more than 10,000,000 views on his
YouTube channel from word of mouth alone.

Discovered and
signed by his manager Scooter Braun thanks to his
spectacular cover videos of the likes of Justin Timberlake,
Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Bieber’s talent also earned him a
mentor in pop icon Usher and a record deal with Island Def
Jam Records.

Three studio albums, 3.3 billion VEVO video
views and a box office smash feature-length film later,
Justin Bieber’s Believe tour offers fans a glimpse
of their idol in his finest form yet.

Inspired by Michael
Jackson’s concerts from the 80s and 90s, Bieber aims to
make you ‘believe in magic again’ with a show filled
with lights, sounds and pyrotechnics.

The elaborate stage
production of Believe is lead by the show’s
director Jon M. Chu, the name behind Bieber’s smash hit
bio-doc Never Say Never as well as the Step Up
franchise. This is Chu’s first stage show and promises
to be the Hollywood-worthy extravaganza that ups the ante on
Bieber’s previous My World tour.

The Believe
tour features more than a dozen dancers, feature-film
quality video segments and a triple-level stage with wind
machines, cranes and runways. Show director, Jon M. Chu,
lets fans know what they have to look forward to:

"The
show starts before the show even starts. We had a cinematic
score composed for when people take their seats, and there
are other (pre-show) elements I can't talk about. When
people walk in, we want them to feel like they're about to
take a ride at Disneyland. They will let go of their
everyday cares."

There are no further dates to be added to
Justin Bieber’s Believe New Zealand tour. Be quick to grab
your tickets as these shows are sure to sell
out!
